Abstract

This study aims to investigate the multifaceted impacts of cloud computing adoption on information security management systems within higher education institutions. A mixed-methods research approach combining systematic literature review and empirical case analysis was employed. The research examined security vulnerabilities emerging from cloud migration, evaluated existing protection mechanisms, and analyzed the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation in university environments. The findings reveal that while cloud computing enhances operational efficiency and resource utilization, it introduces novel security challenges related to data sovereignty, access control, and third-party dependency. The study proposes a comprehensive security governance framework tailored to the unique characteristics of academic institutions.
